Just another data point. I cloned and ran `cargo build --release`. It took 2 mins and 2 seconds (M1 Pro, 2021).
Just want to say, creating a release build is really unusual! You'd do that relatively rarely. Most of the time you'd create a debug build, which took 29.56 seconds on my machine for a clean build and 1.45 seconds for an incremental build with one line changed.
I sympathise with the author's running on underpowered hardware, but it might not reflect the experience of the average Rust developer.
